Father’s Day is Sunday, June 16. Spend some quality time together with these “Dad and Me” gift ideas.
Build a LEGO Set. Bring out his creative side with a LEGO Art set to challenge and inspire him, or indulge any amateur architect with a LEGO set of his favorite city or landmark to build from scratch. If cars are his passion, a LEGO car or vehicle set is always a winning gift – whether it’s a classic bike or iconic sports car, he’ll cherish the chance to bring his favorite model to life! Lego.com
Have a Game Night. Enjoy some good old fashioned family fun with a few board games around the dinner table. Check out these kid-friendly games available at major retailers.
–Beat the Parents. In this family showdown game, kids compete against their parents for household supremacy! Each team reads trivia questions about their generation to the other side, moving their pawn on the board with every successful answer. Age 6+
–Ticket to Ride. Ticket to Ride is a cross-country train adventure game. Collect train cards to claim railway routes connecting cities throughout North America. The longer the routes, the more points. Age 8+.
–Trash Pandas. Trash is treasure! In this raucous card game, paw through the deck to find sets of day-old pizza, half-eaten candy, and other luscious leftovers. Roll the die to tip over the garbage or raid a rival’s rubbish, if there’s no Doggies standing guard. The more you roll, the more actions you can take – but get too greedy and your turn is scrapped! Age 8+
